Khalid Shaikh Mohammed Captured

[TheBear]

This guy is said to be the top planner for the 9-11 attacks.

OBL: You have slipped past us for now, but your days are numbered.

We will never forget. We will never stop hunting you down.

This is the proof I needed to show that the president has NOT forgotten about al-queda and Bin Laden. Between this and the military "exercises" in Philippines to find abu-saayef terrorists, the war continues.

I certainly hope so.

Agreed.

Man, I wonder what that arrest looked like.

 

[datan]

hm...remember Israeli-style justice after the Munich massacre? I like the way they did away with the need for messy extradition requests & trials (notwithstanding the fact that its against international law of course)

Has anyone else seen the guy's picture on CNN.com? It's rather pathetic, but still funny.

They are 'interviewing' him off-shore, where Pakistani and US rules don't apply.

PPPFFFFTTTT! LOL!

 

[Ajnin]

Wait, pakistan has rules on how prisoners are to be held?

Just goes to show that when the media aren't reporting it day in and day out that doesn't mean that our governments aren't in there working towards bringing justice to those who were involved with the 9/11 attacks.

The good thing about this capture is what the intelligence services would have acquired at this guys house. Computers with countless data on it about potential locations of al-Qaeda cells in the world, contact numbers for key figures etc. This could well be the break that we all need in bringing al-Qaeda to its knees, so don't fret if nothing happens soon, but be assured that our intelligence agencies ARE working towards a resolution.

Yea I's like to be a fly on the wall in that "interview!"

I wonder what techniques we are using, a couple more guys got carted off yesterday, I wonder who spilled the beans on them

After Sept 11th I have little sympathy for the purveyors of terror . They should of left the innocents alone . After they got what they can out of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed they should show him the chair not a comfy jail cell.

This guy was ranked number 22 on a 22 person list after 9/11. He's been moving up. Apparantly (color me shocked) anyone caught it claiming someone else is more high-ranked, more important, more involved in planning then they are.

The last guy we caught (whom we claimed was a top 9/11 planner) ratted out this guy, claiming he was.

Offhand, I don't know whether to be cynical or merely realistic. Either we're simply trumpeting everyone we catch off that list as a "top planner", or we've got no real clue how Al Qaeda is organized.

Regardless, it's good to see another one get caught. Might I add that doing so didn't involve bombing, invasion, or anything other than police work and diplomatic relations. And a 25 million dollar reward.

Going after terrorists with A-10s and cruise missiles has always been a fruitless exercise. Going after them with cops seems to work better.

Osama bin Laden reads these forums?
Hello Osama, you little lurker you!


By the way, do you think someone could arrange to have this dirtbag Shaikh Khalid converted to Christianity please? Because if I'm going to have to spend eternity somewhere, I would prefer people like this be somewhere else.
Thanks in advance.

You can't have a war or terror anymore than you can have a war on drugs, terrorism is simply politicaly/religiously motivated organized crime.

You won't find me arguing. I've said that from day one.
